It is with
great sorrow that we, the family, announce the passing of our family
matriarch, Anna Grant, née Vienneau 72, of Riverbank Drive,
Bathurst NB. on Easter Sunday April 21, 2019. Anna passed peacefully
in her sleep after a long and courageous battle with illness.
She was born in Newcastle, NB and was raised in Saint-Anne,
Gloucester Co, just outside of Bathurst
NB.
The daughter of late Arthur
Vienneau of Chatham NB, and Thérèse Doucet of
Saint-Anne NB. Anna is survived by her loving siblings; Arthur

Pierrefonds, Montreal and Diane Vienneau (Yvon) of Laval, Quebec. Her
niece and nephews, Roland Vienneau, Alain Vienneau, Rachelle Doucet,

Anna, a loving Mother, Wife,
Sister, Cousin and friend will be best known for her love and care for
others in her life. She was a woman who always put everyone
else’s needs before her own. She was a lover of life and
though wise in her later years, was very much able to hold on to the
fun-loving little girl that was always inside of her. She often
expressed her love for flowers, music, dancing and warm summer days.
She would often reminisce about stories of her childhood playing in
the farm fields and woods in Saint- Anne with all of her cousins and
friends.
She loved her family
tremendously especially her children, grand-children and
great-grandchildren. She also loved all of her friends who supported
her through her life and especially in her last few years. She always
had a smile when friends would call or stop by for a visit.

Hill (Brian) of Salt Lake City Utah, Eileen Grant (Keith) of Winnipeg
MB, Stephen Grant (Suzanne) of Moncton NB, Jason Grant (Janine) of
